Bella Hutagalung, 42, a mother of two, finds it easier to motivate her children by showing them examples of children's achievement stories published in the Berani newspaper.
"The section on achievements can inspire children. That's what I like about the newspaper. But there is only one newspaper for children and I don't think that is enough," she told The Jakarta Post recently.
She said she decided to subscribe to the newspaper because her children had asked for it and their school had recommended it.
Reta, another parent, said the newspaper was good in terms of providing news and knowledge, but said she felt that it lacked fiction stories.
"I think children would like it better if it provided more fiction stories," she said.
Teacher and journalist Witdarmono started the newspaper for elementary and junior high school students in April 2006, aiming to develop children's interest and understanding of the media and the news.
